HEY BRO, VERY WELL DONE. THANKS FOR THE DIVINE GUIDANCE, YOU ARE REPRESENTING YOU COMPANY IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY.

Helped me find the fried heating coils that were causing E61. Thanks for the help!

Very cool! I was able to fix both my E61 & E64 errors

Very helpful !

Excellent guide to trouble shoot..

Excellent thanks!

Thank you for this video

This video really helped me repair the heating element in our kenmore dryer. I performed the ohm test as you showed, got a faulty reading. Ordered a new heating element off amazon, (for less than half price the parts dealer asked) was installed it and we are up and running again. Thank you so much for this video! I appreciate it cheers

I ordered an element off Amazon and it failed within a few months whereas the dealers part lasted years. Just a caution that there are quality differences.

Top notch training

Thank you so much for showing this. I was stumped because I had continuity on all 3 wires and was still getting a E64 code. Then you quickly noted, "oh and you should make sure it isn't grounded to the housing". Sure enough, mine was an open circuit. I have no idea how this happened, as inside the support is actually bent! I ordered a new one and hope that fixes it. Thank you again. Fingers crossed.

Thanks Tim

Hi guys, if your aeg/Electrolux/zanussi heat pump dryer is running 30 minutes normally and then giving e60 (e63 in test mode) just checked the upper capasitor which should be 10uf. You will see it is around 4.5 - 5.0 that is a fault.. I finally solved it. Just replace the 10uf capasitor (the above one, connected to engine motor), no soldering or antything, it is plug and play. Buy it from an electronic market showing the old faulty one, do not buy it from an AEG or other brand shoppers. Otherwise it will be 10 times expensive. There is space to place it into the machine,, so the new one can be a little fat or long, no matter, just be carefull for the values like voltage etc. They are not polarized so you can attach the 2 cables whatever you want. You don't need to disassebly tumble or any thing. Just get the back top and right panel, you will see the 10uf capasitor lying horizontally. Fyi, the below one is 18uf and you need to diassemble tumble and other things to get it back, but fourtunately you can measure it without disassemble.

Thank you for the very informative video. My Electroluxe os giving an E63 code. Tested the Element, reading 27 on all 3 terminals. not shorted to casing. checked relay points on board, all open. checked wires to element. no short to ground. Also checked Hi and Low thermostats on casing, seem to be fine. What do you suggest as to a next step?

You'd have to live test the voltage leaving the board from the relays to the element. You've done the must common issues. Control board is the final piece, but it's impossible to say without being there. Good luck

I had an E61 on my dryer today. It was working and heating a few days ago. The dryer would run 4 minutes with no heat and then shut off with E61. I was wondering what might cause this and i figured the dryer wasn't getting enough voltage to turn on the heater but had enough to run the motor and turn on the lights. I went right to the plug and checked the voltage. I had 120 on one side and should have had 120 on the other side but had nothing. I removed the receptacle from the wall (after turning off the breaker) and tightened the connections until I had 120 at both terminals. plugged the dryer back in and it worked fine. I was going to check the relays next but never figured they were the issue. Other places on line tell you to replace the board and if I could have found a new one on Amazon would have likely bought one. My advice with E61 is to check your outlet and maybe even your circuit breaker, first. I have had E63 on this dryer before as well. I bought the replacement heater but the resistance across all three was 16 ohms not 26 ohms like the one in your video.. I replaced it and it's working fine. I'd be interested to know from others what their readings are on their new heating elements.

How do I replace the door lock assembly pls?

I've watched the video several times, but I'm not clear on how to test the control board. Both connectors have 3 metal prongs. Are you touching probes to each combination of prongs within a connector. I'm getting no readings at all. Am I correct in assuming each is open? Then why the E61?

wanted to see if you can clarify a question - I have a E61 error and followed your instructions. My question is, if the circuit is open like you said then there should have been no meter movement on the meter correct? I tested and have no movement on my meter when testing the three connections but, the machine is still throwing a E61. I did a diagnostic test and the last 5 codes where all E61. Can something else cause a E61 without the board being bad? Thanks

thegary clark. Yes. But it requires voltage tests. If you're comfortable with that, you'll want to check for voltage from those relays. If they aren't sending voltage, that could be it. Also, check the rest of the head circuit as described in the video... any code in the 60s is related to heating. Could also be the thermostats on the heater housing... those should test near 0 ohms (without the machine plugged in), if they are working. Never do any ohms tests with the machine plugged in.

Thanks, one more question - I am using the Commercial Electric M1015B 300V Cat II meter set on X10 - when i touch my meters black wire to the unplugged heating element black wire and touch the three gray wires with the red meter wire I get no movement on my meter whatsoever. So according to your video this would mean all three heating elements are bad? However, when I test my current heater element like you test the new heater element, when I touch each of the three heating element leads while touching the other lead the black wire would attache to with my meter, each lead reads around the 26 mark. Which makes me think that the heater element is good and it could be that the black wire coming from the wiring harness is bad. When touching the red wires on either side of the thermostats i get a pegged at 0 meter reading, which I take is open. How do I tell if they are bad or not? Thanks again for your help.

+thegary clark You're doing something incorrectly. Follow the video for testing the element. 26 ohms for each is what you want, and it sounds like you have it. "0" means closed circuit, which means electricity will pass through it - your thermostats are fine. Since it sounds like you are new to electricity, I do not recommend that you do any live voltage testing - 240VAC can really bite.

Does the dryer itself need to be plugged in to test for E61?

No. You want it unplugged, when you test ohms. Normally, these relays are open in the off state. Sometimes they will remain open while running, which is also a failure. That would require live testing, which is beyond the scope of the video.

Thanks for the help. I have watched your video to repair my heater twice. I think I've just come to the conclusion that this is a terrible heater design that is prone to breaking. Any ideas on how to prevent the coils from getting destroyed so quickly?

My dryer threw E 61. I noticed problem with the heating element. I replaced the elements. I replaced the elements from other devices. The first time I did it, it tripped the circuit breaker. I figures those elements were rather thick with low resistance as they were from house heating system. I then replaced the heating elements from other dryers. I noticed that two elements from this dryer is equal to one element from other dryers. So I used 1 1/2 elements. I cut the element in half, I made the cut ends in to a ring and secured them on the one junction with the nut it has. Again it tripped the breaker. The other dryers elements are roughly 10 ohms across the board on all of them that I have come checked. Tjhey all have shown around that figure. I noticed your read each element at the junction at 26 ohms, pretty high resistence. I never checked the resistence on the second time. I figured each element must be half of the whole element. Implying 5 ohms of course. So do you think that Fridgidaire use high resistance heating elements or I have problem with some other things. I checked the relay as you have, they are open. I have also checked resistence on middle and the pin on the left of the dryer where power cord is secured, it read almost 100 ohms. I noticed that the middle pin is grounded on the body of the dryer itself which I find strange, Doesn't that mean that there is constant current there? That left pin on the dryer seem to go to to a low or high limit on the heating element and also thermo switch located on the exhaust end and another one small wire from it goes the control board. When I unhooked the wire to the limit switch, resistance reading did not change. When I unhooked from the thermo switch, resistance went down but there was still resistance. When I unhooked the wire ( which is the thinnest one) to the control board, that is when there was no reading. When I tested the power pin's resistance in to the control board, it shows resistance of .6 ohm. You can see where the power harness goes. It is the longest harness with small wires. This means when the cord is plugged in and the dryer is not turned on at all there is continuity between the middle white and one of the power wire which is 120 Volts. and there is clearly coninuity in the power intake of the cicruit board. Also most dryer don't ground the middle white wire to the body of the dryer. I don't understnad this at all. Frigidaire is the only one that does it. But why one doesn't get electricuted? I don't get it. I will check another working dryer to see if there is continuity there in the power intake of their control board.

OL is an open circuit. Electricity will not pass through an open circuit. So, if the reading is OL for the terminals of the heating element, it is broken.

So if the board is reading fine will a heating element still throw an E61 code?

Nathan Stinchcomb check for voltage coming out of the board at those terminals, if you're comfortable with live testing. The relays will close and send voltage depending on settings. You'll need the tech sheet to get more info. No voltage is a bad board. Second, the heating circuit could be suspect, too, but start at the board.

+Nathan Stinchcomb You know you have a broken heating element. Fix that. All the E60s are dealing with heating circuit defects. Make sure to clean your duct system, including all the way to outside your home, once you've replaced it. The coil gauge is not thick enough and is sensitive to breaking in high heat situations. So - replace the visibly broken part (element), clean, then diagnose again if necessary. E61 usually deals with relay issues at the board, but it's a computer and is fallible. Good luck
